The book of Leviticus was given to Moses around 1445 b.c. during the time Israel was in the wilderness. The focus of this third book of the Torah is on the holiness of God. Leviticus 19:2 is the key verse, “Be holy because I, the Lord your God, am holy.” “Holy” can be defined as the sum total of the attributes of God. How then, can an unholy people approach a holy God? The answer is in Leviticus. This book was the instruction manual for the Levitical priests with God’s prescribed ways to maintain holiness in the Tabernacle and among the people. As you study this book, keep in mind this was given in love by God to provide a way for his presence to remain with his people.
